How to choose
- Where it meets. The two street food walks from Pink Umbrella and Marco Tours meet on Corso Magenta 15, the full-meal tour and the FollowMi tour on Via Cordusio, and the NO DIET CLUB tour on Corso di Porta Romana.
- Eat first or not. The full-meal tour, the sunset Navigli tour and Eating Europe’s tour add up to a meal. The street food walks are tastings.
- Dietary needs. Tell the operator when you book. Neither the Pink Umbrella nor the Marco Tours walk covers vegans or people with gluten intolerance.
- Do it yourself. Where to eat in Milan lists the restaurants, and Milan walking tours compares the sightseeing walks without a meal. The Navigli and Ticinese walk covers the canals on foot.
- Fit it in. 3 days in Milan places a food walk on a Monday, when the museums are shut.
